Days of Future Past The Sentinels

[Nathan]

Doesn't look like anything I've ever seen, but I'm honestly fine with it. They look menacing, and that's what counts.

 

[def28]

Veering from the source, yes. But far from uninspired, I've never seen a robot like it before

Looks a bit like remake Gort to me. Only with a black disco ball for a texture. Much more alien looking then I would prefer. Sentinel designs excluded, it doesn't come off original at all to me. Not too fond of it as a Sentinel tbh, maybe as another entity. I do really like the descriptions and what they can do that others can't. That sounds very cool. Hope it ends up awesome.

Gonna hold my judgment for now, interest has been dropping for me since the trailer and has continued through most these stills. My expectations have been to high. Not good.

 

[GuestStar2004]

Its an interesting design but I notice people still desperately trying to see if they are bigger... To which I say with that design why would it need to be bigger?

 

[def28]

I thought the past were big enough. These ones can increase their size if needed it sounds like though right?

 

[GuestStar2004]

Why would they need to though? What is size meant to give them? I'm willing to bet they are the same size as the past ones just more evolved

 

[Kanon]

I wonder if this one will be the ultimate sentinel, or a regular sentinel in the future. Could this be Nimrod?

Don't know. Maybe to reach/destroy a high level skyscraper or something like that. General chaos. Im more then fine with the height of the 70s ones.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Wow! That Future Sentinel looks Sick! I love it!

There's likely a Mark that look similar to the comics.

That would be Cool.

 

[The Endless]

Perhaps the future Sentinal is one of a kind, it has adapted into this shape shifting invulnerable mutant stalker. Think the Nemesis from the Resident Evil games. Potential for some very suspenseful horror movie esque scenes.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Like many characters adapted to film I think it's an amalgamation. Looks to me like a classic Sentinel mixed with the Phalanx and Danger

If that big robot from Thor & The Day The Earth Stood Still had a baby I present 2 you The Sentinels of the future

Pretty much

 

[Kanon]

From Hitflix, on the past Sentinel

They also share some traits with a very surprising character, a character who emerges in this film as one of the lynchpins of the "X-Men" universe.

This is intriguing... "surprising", "emerges" "lynchpins of the X-Men universe" makes me think about Apocalypse or Sinister, it wouldn't be crazy if they are pulling the strings behind the scenes...

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I just thought they were talking about Trask. But we'll see.

Don't forget the Tengu Warriors from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie.

 

[GuestStar2004]

given hitfix says about havok

As the cover says, he "absorbs cosmic energy and releases it in plasma blasts," and we learn in this one that Alex Summers has joined the army. He's one of several mutant soldiers who have agreed to be tested by Trask Industries as part of the program that eventually leads to the development of the Sentinels, hence the uniform we see here. I'm not sure about Empire's spelling, though. He's "Havoc" in the script.

so maybe the trait the sentinels have is havoks

Yeap, makes more sense taking that into account, but I find it hard to believe he is a "lynchpin"...

Nitflix also says

Toad is another soldier in the same program as Havok

So, maybe a pivotal character we don't know about is in that program?

 

[Donut]

So any bets on which character does the obvious type of line like

"Can we get The Sentinels in black"

 

[The Guard]

Looks like nanotech.

Cool.

 

[Weather Witch]

Is the Sentinel in this viral video, the same as the one in the past? Cuz it looks different to me...

 

[GuestStar2004]

i dunno if all the mutants in that camp with havok are being experimented on for the sentinels, the character of INK would be one, its hard to see what they would bring to the table for sentinels

5 other mutants in that same camp, interesting to know what thats about

 

[X-Maniac]

"They're biomechanical weapons. We had to come up with what would be the ultimate version that could actually, in principle, stop the X-Men. We started with this idea that they were almost made up of magnetic plates slapped over one another, imagining that the plates could contract or grow, so the Sentinel can be skinny to get through a small space or the plates can open up to become a bigger shape. So they have become virtually unstoppable."

That description of the future Sentinels having "magnetic plates" makes it sound like they have the DNA of Magneto and Mystique. That would enable magnetically-controlled shapeshifting.

 

[The Guard]

There was some kind of anti-magnetic field tech in the original film Sentinel blueprints. I would imagine the future versions have something similar.

 

[The Endless]

Yea I don't think they'll be made with actual mutant DNA. I think Trask Industries will be studying certain mutants to replicate their powers using tech of some kind.
